"Oh, Bill Mitchell moved to take it back to Second Reading."
"Bill…"
"That's… if so it's the first time I've seen Bill Mitchell move in two days. But, you know, whatever. If… I just want you to know how happy I am that I drove 2 hours and 15 minutes to get over here and then… But the magic show is always worth it, the way we can move Bills by magic when the Sponsor isn't here. I never cease to be fascinated by that feat of legerdemain. So, you've answered my question. Thank you very much." 09500098.doc 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 95th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 98th Legislative Day 7/23/2007
